My current car doesn't have a flat-enough dashboard to place a hula figure.

But my last car did - and on it I placed a bobbing figure. Not a hula girl, but of a red-spotted dog that I had purchased from a street vendor in Istanbul. I placed this so it was faced forward - looking out into the world. It gave me great pleasure, seeing this dog nodding approvingly at all the new scenery constantly passing before him. It was kind of like rescuing a dog from the pound, and giving it a new life on a new continent.

I guess one difference between the above bobbing dog, and a hula figure, is that I could still see much of the face and expression of the dog as it was facing forward. With a hula girl facing forward, you won't see the face - is she smiling or crying? Probably smiling, but can you really, really be sure?

One solution would be to buy two additional hula dolls, and form a circular trio -- your own hula dance troupe. They could provide company for each other when you weren't in the car, and also whisper to each other and describe to each other what each individual dancer could not see.
